#Maestro

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Usual #gammons on FB blaming #youths and #immigrants, but this #crime seems more likely to be jealous older man - youths are unlikely to know what an #Austin #Maestro is (nor security vulnerabilities of #1980s #cars) unless into retro cars (and would have more respect) - any immigrant who remembers it is likely older and law-abiding. But one comment (even if made in jest) of perp being someone getting out of jail after 30+ years isn't that far-fetched #oldtimer

Ich habe vorhin folgende Meldung von unserem #Zahlungsdienstleister bekommen:

Mastercard/Maestro transactions is facing issue Globally

*An issue is identified with Mastercard/Maestro network Globally.*
There is an ongoing issue related to Mastercard/Maestro network globally, [...]

Da ist mir der Gedanke gekommen, was würde passieren wenn #Trump anordnen würde, dass #Mastercard #Maestro #Visa #AmEx, #Diners #Discover und Andere ihre Dienste in der #EU oder generell in #Europa einzustellen haben.

Mir ist kein gängiger #Kreditkarten Anbieter bekannt der nicht irgendwie aus den #USA kommt.

Ich kann mir gerade nicht vorstellen, dass "wir" in Europa dagegen gewappnet wären.

Je me répète mais parce que je viens d'y rejouer et que ce jeu me donne une banane monumentale, mais si vous aimez la musique classique/baroque/jazz et que vous êtes équipé-es en VR (et que vous n'avez pas de problème moteur parce qu'il faut beaucoup lever les bras), Maestro The Masterclass est un must-have absolu.

@EUCommission There is a lot I don’t like about Apple and iPhone (which I have and use) but I have even worse memories from my Android times and banks coming up with their absolute garbage quality payment systems. I’m also afraid of country-specific payment systems getting a boost because of this. There’s already enough trouble with German #Girocard , or #maestro in the Netherlands.
